A Long Way from Home
A Long Way from Home
Cathy Glass
¥58.86
The true story of 2 year-old Anna, abandoned by her natural parents, left alone in a neglected orphanage. Elaine and Ian had travelled half way round the world to adopt little Anna. She couldn’t have been more wanted, loved and cherished. So why was she now in foster care and living with me? It didn’t make sense. Until I learned what had happened. … Dressed only in nappies and ragged T-shirts the children were incarcerated in their cots. Their large eyes stared out blankly from emaciated faces. Some were obviously disabled, others not, but all were badly undernourished. Flies circled around the broken ceiling fans and buzzed against the grids covering the windows. The only toys were a few balls and a handful of building bricks, but no child played with them. The silence was deafening and unnatural. Not one of the thirty or so infants cried, let alone spoke.
George: A Memory of George Michael
George: A Memory of George Michael
Sean Smith
¥66.22
George is the story of two extraordinary lives – the private man and the public legend. Georgios Panayiotou was just eighteen when he decided to adopt the stage name of George Michael. Sometimes his two worlds would collide with shattering consequences. Bestselling biographer Sean Smith has gone back to the neighbourhoods of North London to trace the astonishing journey of a sensitive but determined boy who grew up to be one of the biggest British pop stars of all time. Along the way, he talks to those close to George, revealing the real man – funny, articulate, intelligent and generous spirited – who hid behind the powerful image he created. He reveals the complex relationship with his high-achieving Greek-Cypriot father; the unconditional love of his mother; his teenage relationships with girls; and his first tragic love affair with another man. George’s career began falteringly with a schoolboy band, exploded with Wham! before he became a solo phenomenon. But at the height of his fame, the world seemed to turn against him. Smith describes his despair at losing the two people who mattered most, how he sought consolation in drugs, his notorious ‘coming out’ and how he ended up in jail. His health failed him and he died heartbreakingly alone on Christmas Day, 2016. Affectionate yet honest and moving, George is both a celebration of George Michael’s music and a lasting tribute to a decent and much-loved man.

A TOP 10 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2018 SPORTS BOOK AWARDS LONGLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2017 The incredible true story of four ordinary working mums from Yorkshire who took on an extraordinary challenge and broke a world record along the way. Janette, Frances, Helen and Niki, though all from Yorkshire, were four very different women, all juggling full time jobs alongside being mothers to each of their 2 children. They could never be described as athletes, but they were determined to be busy and the local Saturday morning rowing club was the perfect place to go to have a laugh and a gossip, get the blood pumping in the open air, and feel invigorated. Brought together by their love of rowing, they quickly became firm friends, and it wasn’t long before they cooked up a crazy idea over a few glasses of wine: together, they were going to do something that fewer people than had gone into space or climbed Everest had succeeded in doing. They were going to cross 3,000 miles of treacherous ocean in the toughest row in the world, The Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. Yes, they had children and husbands that they would be leaving behind for two months, yes they had businesses to run, mortgages to pay, responsibilities. And there was that little thing of them all being in their 40s and 50s. But two years of planning, preparation, fundraising, training and difficult conversations later, and they found themselves standing on the edge of the San Sebastian harbour in the Canary Islands, petrified, exhilarated and ready to head up the race of their lives. This is the story of how four friends together had the audacity to go on a wild, terrifying and beautiful adventure, not to escape life, but for life not to escape them.

Anna Faris,Chris Pratt
¥125.18
Anna Faris has advice for you. And it’s great advice, because she’s been through it all, and she wants to tell you what she’s learned. After surviving an awkward childhood (when she bribed the fastest boy in the third grade with ice cream), navigating dating and marriage in Hollywood, and building a podcast around romantic advice, Anna has plenty of lessons to share: Advocate for yourself. Know that there are wonderful people out there and that a great relationship is possible. And, finally, don’t date magicians. Her comic memoir, Unqualified, shares Anna’s candid, sympathetic, and entertaining stories of love lost and won. Part memoir―including stories about being “the short girl” in elementary school, finding and keeping female friends, and dealing with the pressures of the entertainment industry and parenthood―part humorous, unflinching advice from her hit podcast, Anna Faris Is Unqualified, the book will reveal Anna’s unique take on how to master the bizarre, chaotic, and ultimately rewarding world of love. Hilarious, honest, and useful, Unqualified is the book Anna’s fans have been waiting for.

Vladimir Dr?ghia ni se confeseaz? cu toat? sinceritatea ?ntr-un volum de poeme care c?nt?re?te exact 21 de grame, ?n care dulcea cucut? ??i des?v?r?e?te efectele ?n simbioz? cu cele mai ale noastre cuvinte. Sunt ni?te note t?rzii din b?t?i de inimi vii, prin care autorul creioneaz? convingerea absolut? care, de altfel, d? titlul c?r?ii.?Omul ?sta cu p?tr??ele pe burtic? are ?nc? for?a unui copil ne?lefuit. Aia pe care noi to?i am pierdut-o acum mult? vreme. Sper ca placheta asta de versuri s? ?ncap? pe m?inile unui editor de treab?. S-o fac? mic?-mic?, s?-ncap? ?n buzunarul de la piept. Acolo, ?n dreptul inimii. Whatever. Po?i s-o bagi ?i-n buzunarul de la blugi. Pe buca st?ng?. S-o mai sco?i din c?nd ?n c?nd ?i s?-?i speli ochii de praf cu o lacrima stupid?.“ – Florin Piersic Junior

E poate ciudat s spun despre o carte ca asta c e o plcere, dar e o plcere. E cu boala i da, e cu moartea, i nu-i vine s-o citeti pn cnd ncepi s-o citeti i ncep s te prind sarcasmele, luciditatea, melancolia tioas, simul luptei i profesionismul poetului; iadul organelor i-a ascuit lui Geacr instinctele i toat energia i s-a strns n minte ca un pumn care lovete, i nu numai s se apere, s atace.Din fericire, cartea e nu numai iad, e i revenirea printre cei vii; doar c ei n-au nicio idee ce nseamn s trieti: cafeaua de diminea/ dup atta timp/ e ca solveig (peer gynt).“ – Dan Sociu
